Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ was a huge hit among the masses. The movie showed one sided love story, Ayan (Ranbir Kapoor) loves Alizeh (Anushka Sharma) madly, but she does not reciprocate the same feelings. At the end, she dies of cancer. However, in an interview with online portal Karan revealed who Anushka Sharma’s character died, “Yes, the last track met with many polarised responses and rightfully so, but I was like she didn’t love him, she has to die. I wrote this character. He loved her so crazily. She could’ve loved him back, why couldn’t she? So she got cancer and she died,” he said.
“Well, she got punished, I wrote it. See, a filmmaker is a God, you write, you create and you destroy,” the filmmaker added.
Wee, after this interview netizens started to condemn his reasoning and slammed him for propagating such “toxicity”. “How is @karanjohar’s take on punishing Anushka’s character for not reciprocating love any different from those men who go around growing acid on women? Do men seriously believe that a woman HAS to love them back in the way they want per force? Misogyny knows no bounds!” one Twitter user wrote.
@karanjohar said this during an interview, about a female character that he killed off:
“He loved her so crazily. She could’ve loved him back, why couldn’t she? So she got cancer and she died.”
Ladies, don’t DARE to reject men. You’ll get cancer and you’ll die.

Karan Johar saying he killed Anushka in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to punish her is the most unsurprising and fucked up thing I’ve read today. pic.twitter.com/3EzePlve7v

Karan Johar saying he killed off Alizeh in ADHM because she didn’t love Ayan and chalking it off as karma is disgusting because we still live in a day and age where women are constantly attacked or killed for not reciprocating feelings and we are NOT going to romanticize that

I always found Karan Johar weird but his recent interview states that he isn’t just that but crazy and full of himself! Killing a character just coz she didn’t love the male lead back?! And it’s all coming from a personal experience?? Kya dimaag hai bhai
